Flooring Resources won the "Best in Show" Spark Award at the 2025 Fuse Alliance conference in Orlando!
Our project, at 225 W. Washington in downtown Chicago, exemplifies innovation and exceptional execution.
This office high-rise lobby and mezzanine was transformed into a chic bar, lounge, and gaming area, designed to serve as a dynamic space for the building's tenants.
The project presented several challenges, most notably a very tight schedule and a small, congested workspace. Every trade was working in the lobby simultaneously, making it crucial to manage time and space effectively. To ensure timely completion, especially for the intricate wood installation, the team adjusted the work schedule, opting for night and weekend shifts to navigate the constraints of the site.
The success of this project hinged on meticulous coordination across all trades. Teamwork, clear communication, and a collective effort were essential in overcoming challenges and delivering a high-quality, on-time result. The project not only enhanced the building’s aesthetics but also supported the ongoing revitalization of the surrounding downtown area.
This award is a testament to the incredible skill and dedication of our team! We're proud to be a Fuse Alliance contractor and push the boundaries of what's possible in commercial flooring.
